As a member of the Business and Market Research (BMR) team, Joseph analyzes markets and industries in which Conversant and its clients own patents – including semiconductors (particularly DRAM, NAND Flash, and application processors), personal and enterprise computing, mobile devices, and consumer electronics. His understanding of these markets, combined with in-depth vendor analysis, enables him to develop accurate financial models for patent license agreements, and provide market intelligence to support portfolio monetization strategies.

Prior to joining Conversant in 2013, Joseph was a Program Manager at Ottawa-based Chipworks, where he delivered patent intelligence services.

Joseph has a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Ottawa, and a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (B. Eng.) from Carleton University.
